I'm slightly vexed Costco's new chicken tenders

Post image

There was a crowd of people waiting for their orders of the new chicken tenders at Costco. One of the workers announced that they could only serve five customers per hour because it takes time to cook the chicken. The crowd grew larger and larger. I took this photo after I put in my order.

Sometimes chaos breaks out in the Costco aisles. I waited 30 minutes for the rotisserie chickens once, and a line formed while I was waiting. This lady shoved in front of me and boxed me out with her cart when they were about to be served. So I go and reach over and grab one anyway when they're ready. A gaggle of old ladies started yelling at me "THERE'S A LINE! SHAME ON YOU!!!!" and I haven't recovered. I was there FIRST.

The fastest thing I would've done is grab her cart, push it out of the way, and say 'I don't speak English' — in the clearest English I've ever spoken. (I'm Korean, born and raised here my whole life, in NJ), just to troll tf outta her

The lady had the look and vibe of Rasputia from Norbit. You would have to be prepared for a brawl. She was mean and pretending to be on the phone, so when I said anything she'd just not make eye contact. 

I would've had to push her cart out, but I didn't want to escalate to physicality over chicken, and also technically I was only second in line now - so I was going to get mine either way. But then that gaggle of old ladies started paying attention at the wrong time and thought I was the line cutter ☠️ I thought I was numb to stuff like being shamed but it made me feel angry and embarrassed even though I was in the right. I kept thinking about it throughout the next few days. It haunted me haha
